((A/N: This is the sequel to my story Never Alone. I wrote Never Alone in 7th and 8th grade so I know that it is….pretty bad. It 520 reviews and almost everybody thought it was really good…BUT THIS WILL BE BETTER! So if you don't wish to get the story behind this story, it's okay because most everything will be explained along the way. And the #1 RULE IS PLEASE REVIEW! Thank you~))

Her name was Vienna Di Angelo and she was having a terrible day. She and her family friends, Jacob and Lucas Jackson, were sitting on one side of my smooth, wooden kitchen table, while her parents, Sam and Nico, and the twins' parents, Annabeth and Percy, were sitting on the other. The adults looked nervous, as if it were hard to explain what happened to the kids today. What had happened? Oh, you know, just a giant flock of bird things coming out of nowhere and attacking them. And then the water in the lake exploded and wrapped around the birds, pulling them back in and drowning them. Vienna was definitely freaking out.

That morning, she had been waling to school with the twins flanking her. Telling Jackson twins apart were much easier than most twins. Though both had dark brown, shiny hair, Lucas's was short and styled in a small fohawk so that the hair in the middle was just a tiny bit longer than the hair on top, while his brother's hair was long, his bangs just sweeping above his eye.

Their eyes were different too. Lucas's were bright green like his father's, and Jacob's were silvery grey like his mother's. Jacob was pretty shy, and didn't talk much, but was always kind, caring, and strong. His brother was outgoing and always hilarious, nothing normal ever escaping his lips.

As they walked, Vienna couldn't help but feel the strange tugging in her stomach, like something bad was about to happen.

"Hey, J?" She asked Jacob. "We didn't have any Biology homework, right?

He shook his head slowly. "Nope. Why?" He peered at her through his silver eyes.

Vienna frowned lightly, scuffing her black boot on the sidewalk. "It's just that…I feel like …Something's not feeling right."

"That's nothing new." Lucas sighed. "I've been feeling it since I turned 13. I think they call this phenomenon puberty."

Vienna reached out a fist and punched him in the stomach. "Idiot. That's not what I meant." He stuck out his tongue at her and then chuckled.

Then it became dark, as if someone had blocked out the whole sun.

But it wasn't the moon, and I wasn't a cloud. It was birds.

At first it seemed harmless, just a flock of ravens passing by, that was, of course, until the first feather came flying at them.

Vienna's eyes went wide and her body froze in fear. Timed seemed to slow down, then, as the weapon was only about a foot away from its target, a hand grabbed her should roughly and shoved her to the ground. The razor sharp feather, as if it were a arrow, shot down and stuck to the cement between her legs. She glanced up, chocolate brown eyes alight with terror, to see that it had been Jacob, his own eyes like silver daggers, that had pulled her out of the way. The two boys stepped around her as she struggled to her feet.

And then there were hundreds of razor feathers flying at them.

"Run!"

The three teens raced down the sidewalk back towards Vienna's house. She had now acquired many scratches; bloody rips in her arms, face and legs, with one feather sticking from her thigh, but she didn't stop. Suddenly, on black demon bird dove, but before it could reach them, Vienna had taken off her Text book filled backpack and swung it around, hitting the feathery enemy and catapulting it in the opposite direction.

Another one dropped from the sky, this time aimed at Lucas. He copied her, madly swinging his backpack, but loosing his balance in the process. He topped and rolled down the hill that flanked the sidewalk toward the big lake in Vienna's neighborhood. He landed in the sand of the beach and stood quickly, dirt caked, and a little disoriented. Vienna saw him quickly scan for his backpack that was stuck on a rock about halfway down the hill. But it was too late to retrieve it.

The birds flocked after him. But something strange was happening. The lake rumbled loudly, exploding upward from it's sandy bottom and creating a giant wave that scooped the birds up and washed them back in.

They hightailed it home after that.

Upon getting back to Vienna's house, they found her mother, Sam, in the kitchen, washing dishes in the sink.

"We're back, mom." She mumbled as the boys came up from behind her.

"Vienna! What the hell are you doing ho-" She turned around to see them. "What happened to you?"

Vienna sighed and told her everything. About the Birds, The water, and the backpack swinging. Sam sank down on a kitchen chair, holding her head. "But that doesn't make any sense. You aren't full half-" She stopped her words abruptly and stood. "Wait here."

After calling the Twin's parents, they all crowded around the kitchen table.

Vienna tried to untangle the feather that was twisted in her curly, strawberry blonde hair. "Can we just get this show on the road already?" She sighed. "Quit stalling…"

Percy shook his head. "Just like your mother…" He peered up at her. "One word for you. Danger."
